2021


  • March 1st, 2021. The past is passed. Good riddance.

    Get away get out get away. Wandering Ellicott City just to be OUT. Love seeing the art that survives here. In the cracks and on the walls. I’m so grateful I get to update myself. I’m small enough that not too many people point it out. I’d like to think I’ve never been TOO awful…

  • February 25th, 2020. IMT is aight.

    A damned fine night. Really incredible to play a bunch of new songs – and to play with Rowan. Hell, it was just cool to hang out with Charlie Pilzer and Dave Eisner and Pam Razon de Ocampo (flamenco dancer from the last IMT : LIVE). So – I needed some extra cases because I…

  • February 19th, 2021. Snow day show day.

    Wednesday night – since we knew we were webcasting with Institute of Musical Traditions – we joined our friend Artem for a recording session with his audio engineering class at CCBC in Essex, MD. My elbows hurt. A lot of me hurts. Playing last night, shoveling ice this morning, spending too much time on the…

  • February, 1st, 2021. I DO Love that Snow so STFU.

    I think one of the first times I was aware of something shitting on something I Loved simply for the sake of knocking down something someone else was enjoying was in the case of snow. I Love snow. I adore snow. But growing up I was very aware that others did not share my feeling.…

  • January 24th, 2021. This one goes here…

    Went down to Ellicott City again. Needed a walk in the sunshine. The very, very, very cold sunshine. It’s a slow Sunday. I’ve occupied myself. I’ve created a pedal board MESS that may or may not be what I want it to be, I’ve done a lot of calendar entry, calendar clean up, website entries,…

  • January 21st, 2021. Nothin’ much.

    We were feeling kinda sluggish before yesterday’s webcast. Dance party was the way forward, as it often is. I’m trying to get back into the swing of transferring the Journal again. It’s a LOT of work but I think I’ve fallen off the wagon for perhaps almost a year and I’m not going to get…

  • January 16th, 2021. Baltimore, MD.

    Kristen got this gorgeous shot of Baltimore from Federal Hill. Here’s a shot of Kristen on the top of Federal Hill I needed to get out. Fortunately convinced Kristen it was time to get out. We got out. We just drove and drove and drove. Took straight routes. Frederick turns into Pratt turns into the…

  • January 14th, 2021. Something in the Way.

    Wednesday was a roller coaster. I woke up and had a luxuriantly hot shower, came downstairs and fed the cat, made a rob omelet for breakfast and then broke. Suddenly everything just flooded in and I started crying. It took me a couple of minutes but I got it back under control and continued with…
